If you're going to replace one of them, Ol' Hickory is the obvious choice.

Edit: it appears Jackson will still be on the $20, but on the back, so I guess when Barney Frank gets on a bill Santorum will be on the back.

You can put Santorum on a bill, but good luck getting anybody to accept it.

Is that why McKinley is on the $500? (not that any of us have ever seen a $500 bill :p)

From looking around the internet, nobody seems to know why Jackson, McKinley or Cleveland ($1000) are on bills, which I assume means the committees just played drinking games to pick them.

Sounds like Tubman isn't the only new face coming to currency. A famous black opera singer (I can't for the life of me remember her name), Eleanor Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, and others. Designs to be revealed in 2020.

If Fox News had existed back then they would have been shocked at FDR's blatant race baiting. :p

And as if on cue...

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren unloaded on the Treasury Department's decision Wednesday night to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the front of the $20 bill, calling it another example of the White House going "stupid for no reason" and dividing the country.

The usual suspects are giving their best and brightest remarks, as well. (White is the editor, cyan are direct quotes from Freep).

That's ridiculous. Tubman's résumé is flat out bonkers and anyone who hasn't figured that out needs to shut up and go read a book about it.

I used to like Greta when she was a legal analyst. Now? Yikes...

I'm willing to bet that she's making those comments at the insistence of her producers, playing to her audience. While I've never liked Greta much, she always struck me as being smarter than that.

I dunno, she's said a lot of really stupid stuff over the years. On the scale of sincere stupid people opening their maw (O'Reilly) to cynical smart people just getting rich off the suckers and laughing all the way to the bank (Coulter), she's probably right about dead center.
